The number one song on your birthday

Pick a date between August 1958 and today. We match it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart for that week.

How your date is matched to a chart

Each Billboard Hot 100 chart carries a date at the end of its week. We use the chart whose week contains your date, so a birthday on a Tuesday gets the chart dated that Saturday.

Born before August 1958?

The Hot 100 started on August 4, 1958, so earlier dates have no chart. Try the top songs of any year instead.
